Inescapable Pain

December 21, 2010

By Anonymous, Dundalk, Canada

When you’re near, I hurt When you’re far, I hurt When you’re here, I cry When you’re gone, I cry more When I look at you, my heart breaks When you look away, my heart sinks When you touch me, it kills me When you avoid me, I die When I go to bed, I think of you When I fall asleep, of you I dream When I awake, you’re still on my mind I flash back to what has been I obsess I imagine what could have been I fall apart And though you don’t know Tears start to flow And continue to flow All because you let me go All because I CAN'T let go
